Chu Fan actually lacked understanding of many of Wei's affairs. Even before he traveled to this world, Chu Fan knew very little about Wei's affairs. In the memories Chu Fan received after traveling here, Wei was just an ordinary dynasty, with nothing unusual at all.
When Chu Fan was still a prince, he was also a useless prince with no achievements. While other princes actively assisted the previous emperor in handling state affairs and governing the court, Chu Fan was always idle and indulged in play and entertainment.
While the other princes were diligently practicing martial arts and improving their cultivation, Chu Fan, who was born without a talent for martial arts, did not feel the need to practice those martial arts. As a result, he seemed mediocre in martial arts, in stark contrast to the diligence of the other princes.
Before Chu Fan officially ascended the throne of the Wei Emperor, the eldest prince of Wei was stationed in the border area, diligently training soldiers to ensure the security of the country and the stability of the border.
The second prince stayed in the palace, assisting his father in handling various complicated court affairs, demonstrating outstanding political talent and a strong sense of responsibility. The third and fifth princes were deeply interested in martial arts training, and were obsessed with improving their martial arts, hoping to make greater contributions to the country in the future.
The fourth prince had already left the palace and embarked on a journey of gaining experience, hoping to hone his will and skills through personal experience and challenges.
Chu Fan, the sixth child, did not focus on government affairs or cultivation like his brothers, but instead chose to travel the Wei Kingdom, enjoying a free and easy life. He often interacted with the wives of important court officials, leading a seemingly carefree but actually controversial life.
Therefore, before Chu Fan was unanimously elected as emperor by the elders of the royal family, all the ministers in the court did not think that Chu Fan, the sixth prince who had neither outstanding literary talent nor outstanding martial arts, was qualified to ascend the throne.
They generally believed that Chu Fan lacked the qualifications and ability to become a monarch. This view became even more obvious after Chu Fan actually sat on the throne, and most court ministers were unwilling to sincerely accept Chu Fan's rule.
Especially those officials whose female relatives in their families have close relationships with Chu Fan, the Sixth Prince, they have strong aversion and dissatisfaction towards Chu Fan.
In their view, Chu Fan not only lacked sufficient political and military talent, but also, due to his close relationships with certain women in his family, they found it difficult to accept his leadership emotionally. This widespread resistance meant that when Chu Fan first ascended the throne, not a single minister was willing to obey his orders.
However, after Chu Fan traveled from Blue Star to this world, as he promulgated various policies one after another and displayed various magical items, those officials who had originally dismissed him began to gradually change their views.
This means that whether it is Chu Fan who originally existed in this world or Chu Fan who traveled through time, they all know nothing about the many secrets of the Wei State.
Of course, Chu Fan hadn't originally planned to stay in this world for long, and he didn't actively explore these secrets. After all, being able to spend every day freely and happily was the best way to live.
As for many things you encounter in life, knowing less will not generate too many negative emotions. Sometimes knowing too much will have a negative impact on your mentality.

After Chu Fan's grand state funeral, the news quickly spread throughout the country, especially to the distant border areas.
Upon hearing the news, the soldiers on the border were overwhelmed with an unprecedented desire to fight. This emotion burned like a raging fire within them, pushing their desire to fight to a new level.
On the border between Wei and Shu, the tension was palpable. Wei soldiers stood at their outposts, their gaze fixed on the distant Shu soldiers. Their eyes gleamed with a fiery fire, as if, at that moment, the Shu soldiers across the way were no longer their enemies, but gleaming medals of military honor.
Although the two countries had not yet officially declared war, the Wei soldiers already viewed the Shu soldiers as potential military heroes. Their eyes were filled with fighting spirit and determination, as if silently declaring: no matter when or where, at the command, they would rush to the battlefield without hesitation to win honor and victory for their country.
This strong desire to fight spread along the border, shrouding the entire border area in a tense and combative atmosphere.
You have to know why soldiers join the army: one is to make their families live better, and the second is to gain honor, and even to be promoted after making great contributions.
However, since the first group of people buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery built by His Majesty were not these soldiers, they were very dissatisfied.
Of course, they weren't dissatisfied with the royal family or the imperial court, but rather with why they themselves didn't have such good opportunities. Why didn't they earn enough merit on the battlefield and die there? Then they would definitely be among the first to be buried in the martyrs' cemetery.
Of course, they still have great respect for the 21 heroes who are now buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery. Although they are not soldiers, the contributions they made are real and they will not deny it.
Now the King of Shu has fled to Wei for refuge. There are rumors that the new emperor of Shu seems to be ready to attack Wei.
These soldiers had been waiting for the Shu army to attack, so that they would have a legitimate reason to counterattack. They were eager to take this opportunity to achieve great things, and even if they died in battle, they believed that His Majesty and the court would remember their sacrifice and contribution.
If he killed enough enemies, he might even be buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery alongside all the successive emperors of Wei. In any case, it would be a win.
When the generals in the army noticed this sentiment, they behaved extremely rationally, even though they themselves longed for military merit and the opportunity to go down in history.
As soldiers, they had to obey the imperial court's orders. These generals could only send centurions and thousand-man commanders to repeatedly appease the soldiers. Although the centurions and thousand-man commanders themselves were eager to lead the troops, they had been educated in military discipline and knew what they should and should not do.
Therefore, they could only repeatedly emphasize among the soldiers: "Please, this soldier, exercise the most basic restraint."
